Idle is not steady...Why?
My idle is at 800 rpm and it goes up to 900 rpm. It goes up and down all the time. Is there any way to fix this?

Guessing here, but try:
Cleaning the Throttle-body/IAC passages
Readjusting IAC/TPS
Checking all vacuum lines for leaks
If you have a MAF, try tapping on
it when idling to see if it gets bad/better.
Put an ALDL scanner on it and see what
sensor readings you have and report back.
